Absolutely! All women come solo as a women’s retreat — and often find connections by the end of the retreat. You’ll be warmly welcomed, just as you are.
Is there an opportunity to stay additional nights and invite my partner?
Yes – accommodation is available to be extended Friday and Saturday evenings at an additional charge where partners can come and also enjoy Forster. Check out is 3.00pm Sunday. A continental breakfast is provided; other meals are not included.
Is this retreat suitable for everyone?
Journey Back to You is a nurturing and empowering space for women seeking rest, reconnection, and personal growth. However, we want to be clear and kind in saying that this retreat is not equipped to support those currently experiencing serious mental health episodes or requiring clinical care or those who have experienced a serious recent trauma. Our facilitators are not trained medical professionals, and your wellbeing is our priority. If you’re unsure whether this retreat is the right fit at this time, we encourage you to speak with your healthcare provider or reach out to us with any questions.
Will I have free time?
Yes — afternoons are designed for rest and optional activities. You can nap, reflect, journal, or join in gentle experiences like kayaking, art or high tea.
What if I have dietary needs or health concerns?
We’ll ask for these details in your registration intake form. We cater to most dietary requirements and take great care to ensure your wellbeing is supported.
This is not a retreat about restriction.
Some retreats focus on rigid diets, cutting out sugar, or giving up wine. Journey Back to You is not that. This is an indulgent, soul-nourishing experience where food is celebrated, not feared. If you’re a foodie, you’ll feel right at home. You can diet later—this is about savoring the moment.
Are there any allergy considerations I should be aware of?
Yes – we have a resident cat Elizabeth and a very affectionate dog Henry (Toy Poodle Shih tzu cross) who both call the retreat space home. If you have a cat or dog allergy, please take this into consideration and plan accordingly. We want all guests to feel comfortable, so feel free to reach out if you have questions about how this may impact your stay.
Travelling interstate to attend?
For those travelling interstate, we offer a transfer service from Newcastle or Port Macquarie airports. Plan your arrival for the Sunday before the retreat. Transfer, accommodation, and dinner Sunday are included at a package rate of $300.
